Sent Mr George Otway…£10. Mr Long dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner, with the addition of a piece of pork and some garden beans.
Paid Will Jenner 19/6 in full for – 11 fleeces of sheep’s wool weighing 29¼lbs at 8d bought of him today. Fanny Hicks drank tea with me in the afternoon. In the evening walked over to Mr Joseph Burgess’s, there being an affair to be made up between my neighbor Mr Bannister and Jacob Parkes of Hellingly, for assault of Mr Bannister upon him, which was accordingly agreed.
Came home about 9:25; spent nothing nor drank anything. Sam Jenner was one of the arbitrators, who stayed and took part of my bed. At home all day and really very little to do in the shop. I think I never knew trade so dull in my life,
